<p>Bob, Plak Blak is a good find. Plak Black Condensed is quite close for most of the letters in the image <div class="imageWrap"><img src="http://typophile.com/files/PlaxBlackCondInUse_4666.jpg" /></div> Only the _S_ stands out as being too rounded. Perhaps this photo lettering era font is a revision of Paul Renner's design for Plak Black Condensed. Most people would not notice if it was used as a substitute for the letters, particularly if the _S_ is adjusted and the punctuation replaced.<br />
The numbers appear to be from an entirely different font. If they had to be made from scratch, I would start with an _8_ to make the _3_.<br />

<p>Linotype Plak Sans is close for letters but not the numerals - as Don pointed out the numerals are different.</p>

I don't recognize this photolettering era font but if you are in luck someone will. A modern font by Nick Shinn that is almost there<br />
